From Lust To Ravagement

I've been wanting a mum since spring. I knew what color I wanted and where I was going to plant it. I finally got one last week and was so excited. I got one that was in a half gallon container.  Not a bad size.  I figured  when October rolled around I'd have this lush, beautiful fall flower. I envisioned it looking like this:

And instead got this:
The kitten has ravaged it.  Sigh.  In a few short weeks he's gone from, "Oh thank you, thank you for saving my life," to "It's all about me." How quickly they forget:)

Lust

Ha. Got your attention. Okay I'm lusting, not in the wink-wink way, but in the I want that plant way.
Isn't this gorgeous? It's a pistachio hydrangea.  Does anyone out there have one? Or seen one?

Batman V Superman

 

The actors were great, but the story line was not the typical Batman/Superman action flick.  I came away with the feeling it was more of a prelude to the upcoming  Wonder  Woman film, which by the way I am looking forward to.

Birds and Buggies

Why am I taking pictures of carts--or buggies as they are called in the South?  Good question. And here's the answer.  See those brown blobs in my picture?  They're birds.  For whatever reason, these carts were very popular with sparrows this weekend. It wasn't a grocery store so I'm assuming crumbs weren't the draw. Maybe some bird seed got spilled, though it seems like that would have went straight through the bottom of the buggy.  Anyhoo they were entertaining to watch flitting in and out of the carts.  They were moving faster than  Friday night grocery shoppers and that's saying something.

Lion Cut

Since Faux  spends a lot of time on the porch, in the past, she has gotten lion cuts in the summer to keep her cool.
But on her thirteenth birthday last year, the vet  and I both felt she was getting to old to be sedated for a cut, so now she instead of a Lion Cut she gets the Cox Chop:)

At a certain age practicality replaces vanity:)
